Seth Rogen Confirms Some Good News About ‘Preacher’ Season Three

All it took was a single tweet for Preacher fans to have their prayers for another season answered on Thursday.

Series co-developer and executive producer Seth Rogen shared the news via Twitter that Preacher would return for season 3. A promo image with a big ol’ “RETURNS 2018” slapped on it serves as a helpful visual aide. With AMC parting ways with shows like Halt and Catch Fire and Turn, the wait for renewal news must have been extra uncomfortable. Plus, there was that finale to leave things off on.

Soft confirmation of a third season appeared to come over the summer when The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that the series had already filed the necessary paperwork for another run of episodes. If the schedule outlined at the time stays the same, that means principal photography will begin January 2018 and an overall schedule that suggests another summer premiere. The budget is said to be roughly $70 million this go-around, a slight increase over season 2’s $67 million budget for 13 episodes. Essentially, it sounds like we can expect (approximately) the same number of episodes for season 3.

better news would be the announcement they’re done fucking up a great story and comic series with a bunch of Walking Dead style writer’s room failures.

two seasons with 10% comic story and the rest is time wasting filler. this show would be so much better if they stuck to the skeleton of what existed and then build on that…instead they make some complete other story and just add in some elements that already existed to live up to the namesake.

They’ve definitely fucked up the comics’ story, yet I am compelled to tune in. Rogen had the script and tried to make it better. He didn’t. But he did create a decent show. Nowhere near as great as the comics but better than 80% of what’s on. I’ve completely separated myself from this and Ennis’ Preacher. It’s an awesome show that could be better had it adhered to the source material, but it is still a good show if you treat it so it’s own separate entity . Great TV but, compared to the comic its dog shit.
